    Blue on your ribs?

    Hey all, I pulled my ribs out of the fridge a few minutes ago after dry brining overnight and there are some blue spots on them... I've never seen this before. They were double wrapped in foil. Nothing on top or below them.

    See attached pictures.

    Maybe a reaction to the salt and foil

      This is dye from a grading or inspection stamp. It is basically, food coloring. Nothing to worry about. For some reason, the dry brining can make it more prevalent.

        The movement of fluids (water) caused by the salt also disperses the water soluble dye. Can trim of wanted but no problem.

      Are you in snowy state? Kinda looks like some salts used to melt snow.

        When I bought my Picanha from Whole Foods, it also had blue marking. I asked about it and they said it was marking they did using blueberries (of course for Whole Foods!)...
